I hated that interview though with his mistress....
It makes me wonder why some people have no problem with something like that, it made me feel sorry for Caroline Kennedy to hear this stuff. And i'm about as far from Democrat as you can get! I actually think the majority of Kennedy's were pretty sick. And you probably noticed any problems they got themselves into had to do with sex or murder. Was there ever any scandals about Robert Kennedy?? I don't remember any....

Let me see. Bobby Kennedy had a torrid affair with Marilyn Monroe, among others, and there is ample evidence that he was involved in Monroe's alleged "suicide".

Bobby also knew about his brother John's "indiscretions", and was involved in many of the Kennedy family's "misdealings".

The Kennedy clan have ALWAYS believed they were above the law, or that "pesky" things like "rules" and "morality" and "values" and "integrity" were for those who were not as "privileged" as they are. One thing they found out is that they were NOT "bulletproof".

Sheds light on what the real Kennedy-Camelot era was like behind the scenes...JFK intern recounts long-ago affair in new bookMon Feb 13,`12  Mimi Alford was terrified in 1998 when the Monica Lewinsky scandal turned the word "intern" into a dirty joke, exposing an affair with a president. Her decades-old secret about her trysts with John F. Kennedy was still safe then.

Outed in a 2003 biography and a New York newspaper account, Alford has learned to tell her story and not be ashamed of it  from the moment she said Kennedy seduced her on her fourth day working at the White House until the affair ended shortly before his death. In "Once Upon a Secret: My Affair with President John F. Kennedy and its Aftermath," published last week by Random House, she writes of her first encounter as a naïve teenager, her "varied and fun" sex life with Kennedy, whom she always called Mr. President.

The Rumson, N.J., native was 19 and had no sexual experience when she first went to bed with Kennedy in his wife, Jacqueline's, bedroom. It was June 1962. "Short of screaming," she writes, "I doubt I could have done anything to thwart his intentions." Nor did she want to thwart his intentions. "I wouldn't describe what happened that night as making love," she writes. "But I wouldn't call it nonconsensual, either." Addressing people who have questioned the encounter, she said: "I don't consider it was rape. I have never considered it rape because I was willing." The relationship continued, even after Alford had become engaged while attending college in suburban Boston, until Kennedy's 1963 assassination, she wrote.

The two raced rubber ducks in the bathtub; they had multiple sexual encounters, though he never kissed her; when he called her at her college dorm, he would use the code name Michael Carter, she wrote. Her account seems "quite credible," said Robert Dallek, whose Kennedy biography made a passing reference to a college sophomore who was a favorite of the president's. "This is how he operated," Dallek said. "He was a compulsive womanizer." A lawyer for the Kennedy family did not respond to requests for comment over the weekend.

Writing the book was liberating, Alford said in an interview last week in her publisher's midtown Manhattan offices. Now 68, Alford was slim and elegant in a gray knit dress, gray pageboy hairstyle and pearl earrings. She was Marion "Mimi" Beardsley when she arrived at the White House press office the summer after her freshman year at Wheaton College in Massachusetts, then an all-girls school. The affair began during her summer internship and continued when she returned to Wheaton in the fall, she wrote. It continued while she dated and until a few months after her engagement to Tony Fahnestock, a senior at Williams. She was deep into wedding preparations when Kennedy was shot.
